Miley Cyrus responds to culture vulture backlash

She's done with rap and rap is done with her.

Miley Cyrus has staged a come-back and while doing so, distanced herself from her past wild image. But her comments about rap in her latest Billboard cover story only painted her as an even bigger culture vulture - as the hip-hop community had already titled her as exactly that once she started twerking her unseasoned thighs all over the place.

Now, Miley has taken to Instagram to "clear up" which she says were misunderstood quotes. Read below.

"When articles are read it isn’t always considered that for hours I’ve spoken with a journalist about my life , where my heart is, my perspective at that time, and the next step in my career. Unfortunately only a portion of that interview makes it to print, & A lot of the time publications like to focus on the most sensationalized part of the conversation. So, to be clear I respect ALL artists who speak their truth and appreciate ALL genres of music (country , pop , alternative …. but in this particular interview I was asked about rap) I have always and will continue to love and celebrate hip hop as I’ve collaborated with some of the very best! At this point in my life I am expanding personally/musically and gravitating more towards uplifting, conscious rap! As I get older I understand the effect music has on the world & Seeing where we are today I feel the younger generation needs to hear positive powerful lyrics! I am proud to be an artist with out borders and thankful for the opportunity to explore so many different styles/ sounds! I hope my words (sung or spoken) always encourage others to LOVE…. Laugh…. Live fully…. to be there for one another… to unify, and to fight for what’s right (human , animal , or environmental ) Sending peace to all! Look forward to sharing my new tunes with you soon! – MC"
